The crappie were about 50 feet from the bank in 20 feet of water and I was catching some nice Kentuckys close to a rock bank. So, I set up 3 poles on the spider rig, set my cruise and Advanced Auto pilot, stepped off the deck to the middle of the boat and bassed fished and spider rigged at the same time while the MK did all the work. Twas a lot of fun but it finally got too busy for me so I put away the bass stick. The I-pilot performed perfectly untill the wind got up big. I am beginning to really like this gadget.
